Inside the gymnasium, the figures of Han Shuo and Andrina were blurry. Crisp sounds rang out as they crossed paths.
Crack! Crack! Han Shuo brandished his Demonic Blades and sheathed them. Ten black radiances flashed past and coiled towards Andrina like ten little snakes.
Dazzling whirlpools formed around Andrina and revolved around her, obstructing the entanglement of the ten black radiances. With one thought, the ten black radiances moved as fast as lightning. They evaded the whirlpools and chased after Andrina. It was as though the ten black radiances had eyes of their own.
Andrina let out a soft cry of surprise. Whirlpools suddenly appeared in her eyes. The whirlpools that revolved around her immediately converged towards her body. The boundary towers around the gymnasium abruptly glowed brightly. The energy inside frantically converged towards the boundaries. It appeared that her attack had caused great damage to the boundaries.
The ten black radiances were shredded into pieces by the whirlpools. They could no longer pose a threat to her.
Her petite body shot towards Han Shuo. Andrina's little hand pulled out a curtain of light and enveloped Han Shuo within. Han Shuo felt a sharp pain in his body. He hastily raised his hand to block her attack.
Bang! Andrina's little hand pierced through the layers of illusions and pressed onto Han Shuo's chest.
Han Shuo staggered and immediately felt the Invincible Omen Body automatically activate. The attack that landed on his body didn't cause much damage to his physical body. After taking a step back, Han Shuo once again advanced explosively. His left hand was bone-piercingly cold, while his right was blazing hot. When the two hands struck out, one hot and one cold complemented each other, immediately forcing Angelina to temporarily dodge.
Unfortunately, Han Shuo's outburst did not last long. After three minutes, he barely managed to hold on for a dozen or so seconds before his body swayed. All the energy of Cauldron Spirit in his body receded like a receding tide. Han Shuo's face was flushed and he had to gasp for breath a few times to calm himself down.
For the next few days, whenever Han Shuo fought Andrina, as long as he borrowed Cauldron Spirit's energy, his body would automatically activate the Invincible Omen Body. But when Cauldron Spirit's energy receded, his body would no longer automatically activate the Invincible Omen Body.
After many attempts, Han Shuo finally found the reason. After pondering deeply and asking for Cauldron Spirit's opinion, Han Shuo was able to ascertain that when the demon general's energy filled his body, although it would cause him extreme pain, the endurance of his body would be greatly enhanced. Under those circumstances, Andrina's attacks would be much more powerful.
According to Cauldron Spirit's conjecture, Han Shuo's body was strengthened a second time when the demon general entered his body. In addition, Andrina's attacks were extremely powerful. Invincible Omen Body would automatically activate under the influence of powerful external forces.
With this understanding, Han Shuo found the right direction. As long as his body continued to be strengthened, not only would he be able to borrow Cauldron Spirit's energy for a longer period of time, but his Invincible Omen Body would also improve further.
One had to undergo a demonic tribulation in order to reach the Omen Realm. If one's body wasn't strong enough, only death would await them. Therefore, strengthening one's body was the most important thing to do at this stage of the Omen Realm. With this direction in mind, Han Shuo naturally knew what he had to do. Every time his body calmed down, he would fight Andrina with Cauldron Spirit's energy, tempering his body over and over again.
A month later, Han Shuo was able to borrow Cauldron Spirit's energy for more than four minutes. Invincible Omen Body would immediately activate whenever the demon generals filled his body.
In that state, Han Shuo would stand still and allow Akley to attack. But when Akley's attacks landed on Han Shuo's body, the Invincible Omen Body would not automatically activate. Of course, Akley's strength was much weaker than Andrina's. His attacks simply couldn't cause any real harm to Han Shuo.
After this trial and error, Han Shuo finally understood that in that state, Invincible Omen Body would only automatically activate when external forces could cause damage to his body. For attacks like Akley's that couldn't even shake his body, Invincible Omen Body would never form to defend against them.
Every time Han Shuo used Cauldron Spirit's energy to cultivate in the gymnasium, he would feel extremely uncomfortable. Whenever the demon generals filled his body, he would feel as though his entire body was being pricked by needles. Enduring this inhuman pain, Han Shuo's body grew tougher and tougher. He used his body as a precious sword, constantly sharpening it!
During this period of time, Han Shuo had completely let go of the management of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Phoebe and Emily had proven that they had the ability to manage the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Although all the pharmacists complained that the two knew nothing about medicine refinement, they were very impressed by their ability in managing the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
In an extremely short period of time, the two had adjusted many matters, allowing the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy to reach its most harmonious state. Under the efforts of the two, the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, which had been unable to open for business for a long time due to the lack of manpower, was successfully opened for business.
With this, the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy became the first pharmacy in the City of Shadows in every sense of the word. Recently, the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy had collected hundreds of thousands of black crystal coins in profits. According to the agreement with the House of Sainte, Phoebe would send Carmelita's share to the House of Sainte on time. The House of Sainte was very satisfied with her work attitude.
Han Shuo was completely freed from his busy business affairs and spent all his time cultivating. His body grew stronger and stronger.
Portlem and his party stayed in the City of Shadows for some time before they finally left. Before leaving, Doyalo had Anito deliver a message to Han Shuo, "You better not leave the City of Shadows. If they discover you, they will avenge Portlem!"
Han Shuo snorted disdainfully at Doyalo's threat. If it wasn't for Doyalo being escorted by a few members of the House of Sainte, Han Shuo might have brought Andrina and Han Shuo along to ambush the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Han Shuo, who had been making rapid progress recently, was worried that he wouldn't be able to find someone to attack!
One day, Anito came to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy again. He brought a pile of scrolls and handed them to Han Shuo. He smilingly said, "From today onwards, we are comrades!"
"It's done?" Han Shuo was overjoyed when he received the scrolls.
"With the help of the House of Sainte and the promise of Lord Erebus, the problem will naturally be solved very quickly. Hehe, these scrolls explain your status in our Third Corps. Carmelita told me to tell you that Lord Erebus is currently in Skyorchid Fort. Now that Portlem and his party have left the City of Shadows, you don't have to worry about the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, "Anito said smilingly.
"Alright, I will set off for Skyorchid Fort right away!" Han Shuo had been worrying about not having anything to do recently. He immediately made up his mind after hearing Anito's words.
"Your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy is temporarily without any divine guards. I will keep an eye on the surroundings while you are away. Hehe, but you don't have to worry. For your enemies, even if they were to make a move, they would target you and Angelina. They wouldn't bother to attack those lowgods! "Anito consoled Han Shuo.
"Thank you very much!" Han Shuo said smilingly.
"You're welcome!" Anito hastily replied. News of Han Shuo's performance in the banquet hall had spread widely among the family clans in the City of Shadows. When Anito learned that Han Shuo possessed highgod strength, he became even more respectful and cautious. Sometimes, he would even look at Han Shuo with eyes filled with reverence.
…
"Andrina, get ready. We are going to Skyorchid Fort!" Han Shuo hastily instructed after finding Andrina.
"Great! Are we going to deal with those godhunters?" Andrina had been waiting for the news for a long time. She was overjoyed to hear that. She giggled and said, "I don't need to prepare anything. You just need to bring along all the black crystal coins you have earned in the past month!"
"I've been prepared for a long time!" Han Shuo smiled.
With the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy as their cash cow, Han Shuo was no longer as harsh to Andrina. He knew that Andrina could consume black crystal coins to recover from any injuries she sustained. He had made the necessary preparations before he left.
After fighting for some time, Han Shuo vaguely understood the source of Andrina's energy. He discovered that when Andrina fought him, some of her internal organs would turn into crystals. It was as though Andrina herself was an extremely precise energy tower that could absorb the energy contained within those crystals for her own use.
Whenever the battle in the gymnasium reached a climax, Han Shuo would discover that the energy in several energy towers around him was rather abnormal. After experiencing this several times, he gradually came to a realization. Of course, Han Shuo did not ask Andrina for confirmation as she refused to talk about her own situation. Han Shuo was also afraid that his probing would displease Andrina.
"You mentioned that you know of a base of godhunters. Is that true?" Andrina suddenly asked as she and Han Shuo were leaving the City of Shadows.
"Yes. When I lured those godhunters away, I followed them for several days. I discovered a valley between the City of Shadows and Mirage City that was covered with boundaries. Even Brovst had to tread carefully in that place. I believe that there must be someone even more powerful than Brovst in that place! " Han Shuo put on a grave face and said, "Brovst is already a mid-stage highgod. If there is someone even more powerful than him in that place, then this Godhunter Alliance is simply too terrifying!"
"Of course there is! Brovst and the other two are only second-rate. From what you have said, it seems that there really is a big fish in that place! "confirmed Andrina.
Andrina knew much more about godhunters than Han Shuo. Since she said that Brovst and the other two were only second-rate characters in the Godhunter Alliance, it was enough to prove that Han Shuo's guess was correct.
… …
* * * Skyorchid Fort.
It was a relatively remote fort in the City of Shadows. Skyorchid Fort was surrounded by continuous mountain ranges, swamps, and oceans. It was a place most suitable for godhunters to roam.
This was especially so as those traveling from the City of Shadows to Mirage City and Hushveil City would have to pass through this area. Recently, godhunters had been roaming around Skyorchid Fort frequently. Not only had the City of Shadows dispatched many divine guards to search the area, even Mirage City and Hushveil City had dispatched divine guards to keep an eye on the area.
There were a dozen mountain ranges, seven or eight swamps, and three vast oceans in the vicinity. The godhunters' activity had seriously threatened the safety of the gods in the three cities. They had no choice but to take it seriously.
Inside Skyorchid Fort, at the top of the tallest building, Erebus and a woman with long black hair draped all the way down to her calves were sitting opposite each other. This woman had phoenix eyes and willowy eyebrows. She seemed to be in high spirits. As she sat there, her black hair gently fluttered in the wind.
Erebus, who had a feminine appearance, looked rather perplexed as he looked at the woman before him. The reason he became a Chief of Divine Guards in the City of Shadows was largely due to this woman. If it wasn't for this woman staying in the City of Shadows, perhaps Erebus would still be wandering around and cultivating wholeheartedly.
"Aobashi, oh Aobashi, why can't you understand my efforts?" Erebus sighed in a low voice and said bitterly.
Aobashi pursed her lips into a faint smile. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly squinted. Her eyes were filled with craftiness as she said, "I understand your efforts, but I didn't ask you to stay in the City of Shadows for me. Don't you like to wander around? You can leave at any time. I believe the City Lord won't stop you. "
"My heart is with you as long as you are here! Even if I wander to other places, my heart will always be with you! What difference does it make whether I leave or not? At the very least, I can still see you from time to time! "Erebus said in a bitter smile.
Aobashi shook her head and sighed softly. She said, "Erebus, you really don't suit me! I have said all that I need to say. There's nothing I can do if you insist on staying. But I still can't accept you! "
"Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about this!" Erebus hastily changed the topic and said, "That youngster I told you about the last time should be arriving at Skyorchid City very soon. We haven't been able to find any traces of the godhunter recently. Perhaps we will find a way when he arrives!"
Aobashi took a sip of her fragrant tea smilingly and glanced at Erebus. She said, "We haven't been able to find the godhunter for so long. Hehe, isn't he a pharmacist? Why did you suddenly arrange for him to come to your Third Corps? Don't tell me you want him to refine medicine for you? "
"Of course not!" Erebus replied, "The City Lord intends for him to take over the Fifth Corps. After Avery's departure, the position has been vacant. All the family clans have fought tooth and nail for the position. But the City Lord simply said, 'Take Avery's head in exchange for it'. It is the City Lord's intention for him to come to our Third Corps. He wants to familiarize himself with our methods."
A strange glint flashed across Aobashi's eyes when she heard Erebus's words. She straightened her slender body and asked, "Him? Managing the Fifth Corps and the Medicine Refinement District is a big job! Can he really do it? "
"Who knows?" Erebus replied smilingly, "But I still think highly of him. That youngster is even more difficult to deal with than Avery. I have never seen anyone so adept at concealing and concealing their strength. This fella is no ordinary person! He clearly possesses highgod strength but has been concealing his strength as a lowgod ever since he arrived at the City of Shadows. Not only did Andre and I fail to discover his true strength, even the City Lord was deceived. It is for this reason that the City Lord has decided to let him take over the Fifth Corps! "
"Oh?" Aobashi's interest was piqued. She smilingly said, "Now that you mention it, this fella is indeed rather interesting. I would like to meet him!"
"He should be here soon. I have sent a message to Carmelita three days ago," Erebus replied.
… …
While Erebus and Aobashi were conversing, Andrina had forced Han Shuo to the valley they had visited previously.
The valley between the City of Shadows and Mirage City was filled with many energy towers and boundary towers that had been camouflaged. Along the way, many shadowy figures were lurking in the shadows of the forest, constantly paying attention to their surroundings.
Han Shuo and Andrina were at the top of a large tree. Han Shuo pointed to the distance and said in a low voice, "It's here!"
Andrina did not reply. She observed for a long while before she said excitedly, "Well done, Brian. I have searched many places over the years but have never found such a large base. I did not expect that you would find it so easily. This is great!"
"Don't be rash!" Han Shuo hastily said, "No matter how deep the hatred between you and the godhunters is, you won't stand a chance if you go in alone. Even Brovst and the other two can severely injure you. If there are even more powerful characters inside, you will only be courting death!"
"Of course I know that!" Andrina wrinkled her little nose and cried out impatiently.
"Huh?" Han Shuo softly cried out.
"What's wrong?" Andrina immediately asked.
"There is a divine guard squad lingering in the vicinity. I don't know if they can find this place. That divine guard squad doesn't seem to be from the City of Shadows. Judging from the shape of their divine armor, they seem to be from Mirage City. I wonder how lucky they are! "Han Shuo said in a low voice.
"Did they use those special lifeforms to see this place?" Andrina giggled and said to Han Shuo, "Brian, those special lifeforms are just too useful. Can you give me a few? With those lifeforms, I will have several pairs of eyes in this mountain range!"
"No way!" Han Shuo resolutely refused. When he saw that Andrina seemed a little dissatisfied, he forced a smile and explained, "This has to do with the energy I cultivate in. The energy you cultivate in is completely different from mine. There is no way you can control them!"
"Stingy," Andrina pouted and groaned, "That's just an excuse. You are stingy if you don't give them to me!"
"Whatever you say, I'm not giving them to you!" Han Shuo chuckled mischievously. He then pulled Andrina and said, "Come, I will go and take a look. They are coming from another direction. They might attract the attention of those godhunters. Let's go and take a look! Their appearance might give us a rough idea of the strength of these Tanai godhunters! "
Angelina snorted a couple of times, seemingly still angry at Han Shuo. She reluctantly followed after Han Shuo after he pulled her along.
